Berlin Marathon – Sunday 24th September 2017

Wow – this marathon lived up to all expectations. I was told it was one of the flattest marathons in the world and it certainly was that. I actually got to watch the start of the race and watched all the top famous athletes start the race. I then got myself into position way down the field. It was perfect weather conditions and you could feel the excitement all around.

Thousands of people cheered on as we ran through the streets of Berlin. Lots of bands and music around the course. The highlight for me was running through the Brandenburg Gate.
